According to team advisor, Dr. Jane Snyder, during this past year, members have collaborated and analyzed cases that included a variety of topics. Members of the team are: Andrew Cegielski (co-captain), Gappy Papale (co-captain), Sam Hopcia, Lacey Caputo, Eric Winnick, Hannah Johnston, Ellie Higgins, Amelia Khabais, Oriana Gelfuso, and Luke Otto. During the tournament, Cegielski ranked as both an attorney and witness, and Otto ranked as a witness.
